Pythouse Kitchen Garden in Wiltshire

Amazing space. The restaurant is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Please make sure to come with time to walk around before or after eating. I missed the last sitting for food but enjoyed great coffee and cake. We will be returning.

More style and price, than substance. Lovely setting, beautiful rambling walled garden with posh servers. But the restaurant food can be really bad! Bean dip (but called something much more lyrical, which I forget) was tasteless/ bland. Even I can just liquidise a tin of beans, and burn a carrot, but I season them properly and do expect much more for the prices. Much is made of local suppliers, and the meat dishes always seem to get better comments from my friends. The veggie food and deserts are expensive and not tasty, original or quality. If you are happy paying highly for meaty food, in a unique setting, then feel free. But I would avoid veggie and vegan (and probably the deserts).

Lovely countryside restaurant - went for lunch in a big group. Had a great bloody Mary and the current vegetarian option. Really enjoyed the meal, excited to come back. Had a little stroll in the garden afterwards to see all the veggies being grown - nice little touch to be able to see.

A birthday treat from my son. Fabulous choice of venue. You just can’t beat the friendliness of the staff. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented. The roast beef was perfection. The sticky date pudding was so light, the clotted cream was struggling to hold it down! It’s a great setting, wonderful decor and the atmosphere was most welcoming. Some of the products can be bought in a deli style shop display by the welcoming counter. You can explore the garden here and they do PYO flowers! Definitely look forward to returning. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Ethically sourced food, wonderfully prepared, great flavour and served in nice dining room.

This is such a gem….beautiful surroundings. The food was absolutely exceptional. Every single dish was fantastic. The philosophy behind what they do is brilliant. The staff were knowledgeable and so fabulous. It’s an absolute must to visit. Write up my list of places to eat

Unique offering. Lovely staff and location. Good value and great experience

The Autumn Equinox Long-Table Garden Gathering was a wonderful experience - the beautifully set table, delicious food, and warm service created a very welcoming atmosphere. Greeted with canapés and cocktails while watching the meats being grilled was a lovely touch. The food quality and variety were excellent, offering great value for money and they thoughtfully accommodated dietary needs. The chef’s personal introduction of each course and live music in the stunning garden made the evening even more special. I highly recommend this event and will definitely return.

A pranzo il 23 agosto 2024. Sosta meravigliosa lungo il nostro itinerario in camper. A parte la bellezza stupefacente del luogo (si entra da una porticina nel muro di recinzione e ci si ritrova in un grande giardino che è anche orto del ristorante), il cibo è di ottima qualità e il servizio altrettanto. Uno dei ristoranti più belli e accoglienti dove abbia mai pranzato. Vale il viaggio.

My new favourite restaurant. The staff, setting and most of all the food is amazing. Can’t wait to eat there again and am looking at booking one of the events they hold

We've been a few times here now and it's just such a pleasure to keep returning. It's an unusual but lovely setting, the menu is always interesting and the food itself is delicious. The staff make it more special though, all friendly, very approachable and efficient. If only it were nearer to us we would visit more often.

10/10 all round - we met Darren at a pop up event and fell in love with the food, so we ventured over to Pythouse for the real deal and it absolutely was that! Unbelievable food, such friendly waitresses, dog friendly and set in beautiful gardens. Food done the proper way! Highly recommended. Thanks again guys!

Very nice countryside restaurant with a beautiful garden where they grow their produce. Menu was amazing and every dish is made using local ingredients. Lunch atmosphere is very relaxed and the waiters always chat with you and explain you the philosophy of the ingredients. Definitely will try the Sunday roast next time.

Really wonderful location, setting, garden and building. Food very good and some of it quite unusual. I'd definitely return.

Words really cannot describe how special this venue is and how much every member of the team at Pythouse put into making sure everything is absolutelty perfect. We got married here on the 22nd June 2024 and also booked the glamping site for our guests to stay in. It really was a home from home, Laura is the most attentive and caring woman I have ever met (apart from my wife). Every little detail was taken care of and it also done in a relaxed informal style that made everything feel stress free. The food, oh my god! If I died and came to Pythouse then heaven is real. Every meal is bursting with flavour, fresh and the portions are spot on. From the canapes to the wedding breakfast then the evening supper every guest said they have never been fed so well and been mind blown with each round. The venue itself is just beautiful, it is natural, welcoming and bursting with the glory of nature. If you get the opportunity to eat in their marquee then this is something not to be missed as looking out on the gardens whilst having dinner is lovely. I could go on for days but if you are thinking of having a wedding here, do it! Thank you to all the team, you made our day so special. Simon & Jenny

What a special experience! The garden was beautiful and inspiring, the atmosphere relaxed and the staff very relaxed and friendly. For us (Dutch people) the menu was a little difficult, but we got some good advice from the staff and everything we ordered was delicious. Really enjoying every bite, with a beautiful view of the garden and in the background a pleasant sound of the English people/language. Also the children loved exploring the garden, the salty bread and the desserts. Thanks again!

We hired Pythouse gardens for the evening before our wedding. It was wonderful, it's a beautiful setting, the food is great. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Wonderful food in a stunning setting

Incredibly delicious food in a great space. Welcoming friendly wait staff & a fantastic ambience.

The surroundings were brilliant, helped by a rare sunny day we were able to enjoy sitting in the garden. Your staff who looked after us were wonderful, especially helping my wife who suffers from some food intolerances. So nice to see a menu of unusual choices and be totally spoilt as to which to choose, your chef and his team are fantastic, and the quality of the food served did not disappoint. Alas, we live on the north side of the M4 so you are not nearby otherwise we would be with you more often, that said we will be back before not too long.

This is a must visit if you're in the area. South Africa is the only other place I've seen a set out like this. A wonderful restaurant, set in the gardens that provide your food. The ability to sit outdoors and eat great quality food is fantastic. We had a lovely afternoon eating and wandering around the extensive kitchen garden. I imagine the events are beautiful, too. Staff were friendly and happy to spend time talking. I would love this to be local to me!

Outstanding food, service and surroundings. The restaurant even surprised me with birthday flowers from their garden and a birthday candle in my pud. Will definitely go again.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch in beautiful surroundings, the staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough to make us welcome and look after us, despite being very busy.

Such a nicer way to do a Sunday roast - having beef and chicken that’s been reared sustainability and brought to the table on large sharing plates. Vegetables and herbs all sourced from the kitchen garden you’re dining in, under a big sail shade. Portions aren’t huge (in a good way), meaning you don’t need a three hour lie down like so many British roasts these days. Staff are all very nice and attentive, and welcome dogs and children with open arms. Plenty of parking. Allow time before or after to wander the garden

Second time here and the food was again excellent. The quality for the price is bang on. The food is so seasonable so the menu I far from what’s online as a sample. We loved the sharing pea dip, totally yum. My venison was perfectly pink, best carrots I’ve eaten ever and that sticky toddy pudding 😍 definitely recommended and in such a stunning setting too

Go here if you like food and are in the area, it is outstanding.

As we walked in the head chef was coaching a staff member to select and pick herbs. That set the scene for a lunchtime dining experience without hyperbole. Pythouse offers a set menu of ethically sourced fare that the fabulous staff will do a far better job of explaining than I can. It’s difficult to describe but, for example, a spelt and cheese arancini-ish nibble is accompanied by a lemon yoghurt; the result is a wonderfully balanced flavour. The environment is relaxed, the staff attentive and the setting lovely (albeit that a wander around the kitchen garden will inspire garden envy..). While the setting appears rustic, the kitchen delivers sophisticated, seasonal flavours for a reasonable price. If this is what they can do during the “hungry gap” I can’t wait to return during harvest.

The staff and surroundings (especially on a sunny day) are lovely. A good choice of meals for the main course. I would suggest, however, that diners could be offered the choice of either a Small plate starter OR a Pudding within the set price. Not oll diners like to eat puddings.

Recommended by our son. It was well worth the diversion on our way to Bath. Very enjoyable lunch.

An exceptionally beautiful place to have had lunch yesterday. Beautiful day, we sat out on a gorgeous terrace overlooking the gardens in this stunning, tranquil place. Food was sublime, a set menu with great options for main and pudding and some optional side plates (we took the mackerel and guinea fowl just to try them). Pork belly wonderfully done and venison to perfection. Followed up by an amazing oat biscuit, custard and charred strawberries. All staff equally amazing and welcoming. The Pythouse ticks every single box you can think of for a restaurant and surpasses them with style. We'll be back very soon!

You enter the place through a door in a huge wall and encounter an unusual area for glamping plus vegetable garden and an indoor and outdoor restaurant. Excellent food and good drinks.

The occasion was my 80th Birthday and the venue was chosen, after research, by my son Vincent and his wife Merrily. They chose well, we had a very pleasant day despite the weather, an excellent meal with a very friendly and efficient service. No mean feat with 34 hungry mouths to fill. Drinks service was good and feedback from the guests was a 5 star rating. Many thanks to Laura and her hard working team who who worked overtime without complaining. The garden was was showing its gratitude that Spring has sprung albeit a late season and well worth a stroll. Will visit again sometime when the sun is shining. David

Excellent Ingredients Served with Passion Its not ‘gastro’ or ‘bistro’ or any other kind of ‘o’, but if you are looking for food quality on the plate, friendly service, and a reasonably priced and thoughtful wine list, look no further. For lunch, a single starter of Rye Crisp Breads, Flamingo Pea whip, and garden XO sauce, suggests the kitchen can stretch a long way beyond Sunday roast (we went on a Sunday). The seasonal vegetables were cooked to perfection, our beef a tad tough (supplier issue I think), good yorks pud, and serious deserts. Thank you team x

Delicious, locally sourced ethical food, beautifully cooked and presented. Super friendly, efficient staff. Absolutely gorgeous setting. We even arrived to find a personal handwritten card to mark the birthday we were celebrating. Magical experience despite the torrential rain, thunder and lightning outside. There is nothing not to like about this place, except it’s too far from where we live to visit regularly!

Fabulous restaurant in beautiful walled garden. My experience was so good last year I decided I wanted to work here! Came for the spring equinox evening .. delicious food beautifully crafted and sourced. Great atmosphere

I was dubious of having a 'set menu' with limited choice but wow the food was incredible. Melt in your mouth beef with well thought out side of vegetables to accompany it. The setting of the restaurant is beautiful and the open fire place added to the cosy feeling. The staff were helpful and friendly and never did you feel rushed to finish.

Quite possibly the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Everything g was perfect.

Excellent Cuisine in a unique setting

One of the best vegetarian meals I've had. Such a pleasure to find a restaurant / chefs that allow the vegetables to be cooked to bring out their very best flavours and for them to stand centre stage on the plate. A huge and welcome contrast to so many restaurants / chefs may use plant based ingredients but feel the need to ape the taste, texture and appearance of meat. Here there is the added bonus of friendly service, a really pleasant ambience and the opportunity to stroll around their walled kitchen garden.

Lovely setting, beautiful gardens, the food is amazing and the staff were very attentive. Looking forward to going back.

We are just on the way back from Pythouse kitchen and what an experience this was! Food is outstanding, fresh, innovative yet familiar flavours cooked to perfection. My chicken dish was a masterclass in chicken cookery. Fino cocktail was amazing ! Great, cosy atmosphere of old farm house. Service was superb, lady who served us was fabulous, attentive and friendly. Overall fantastic experience and for the price they are charging it was an absolute feast!

Producing a Sunday roast for a party of 27 must be a challenge for the staff, but they pulled it off beautifully. This was my first visit, despite having known about it for years - and it won’t be the last. The food was great (with plenty of choice), the service was attentive and friendly and even the sun shone! I will remember the rare roast beef and the chocolate tart for a long time,

Quite simply, amazing location and stunning food. Not to be missed. The ingredients are either from their own greenhouses or sourced locally/nearby. The last time we had a pork chop each and we haven't tasted pork like that in a very long time. Cooked to perfection, as are all the other ingredients served.

A wonderful Christmas dinner experience. Food was delightful as usual and the staff created a memorable night. Absolutely recommend.

Haven’t been here for a few years but very pleasantly surprised, truly excellent food and good service. We will be back!

What an amazing place! The food was outstanding, the service friendly and helpful, and the child and dog in our party were both warmly welcomed. The garden is such a lovely space, even in December, and the interior is so warm and cozy. Highly recommended!

Sunday lunch as a group of 8 to celebrate a friend's significant birthday. Lovely location. Food superb. Service excellent, all members of staff friendly & professional. A very relaxed and relaxing atmosphere. Very highly recommended!

My wife and I had the most splendid lunch here last Sunday and we were instantly mesmerised by the wonderful atmosphere, view of the garden, the fire... and the wonderful attentive, friendly service from Natalie, Freya and Simon. The food was of superb quality and there was almost too much of it - so although not cheap, it was worth it. A great place to lose yourself in convivial company for a few hours. Magic! Simon Holder.

My partner and I were travelling to Glastonbury and wanted somewhere to stop for lunch and in our research we came across Pythouse Kitchen Garden and what a find it was!! The location and venue is exceptional - even on a grey, rainy day it was the perfect place to be for a fantastic meal. The staff were incredible, attentive and most importantly nailed the timing between courses. They provided the perfect amount of interaction and personal touch whilst also allowing you to enjoy your meal. It truly feels like a family run venue which is special. The food matches all the other 5* aspects of this restaurant. The story behind the restaurant, how the food is sourced is amazing and they bring that quality through to what is on the plate. I have already recommended it to friends and will continue to do so and we will certainly be back. Thanks so much for a great experience!

Well worth the drive into the countryside. Welcoming atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff and very tasteful decor. All a wonderful setting for the most interesting and varied menu ,all dishes made with great ingredients and great skill, delivering satisfying and unique flavourful food. Shared starters, main courses to suit everyone with seasonal vegetables, meats cooked to perfection and intense flavours, with a lovely selection of tasty desserts to finish up… And your canine fur babies are also catered for with their own bowl of water at their table!!!

Superb dinner for a winter evening. Amazing food and excellent service.

Wow! Would go so far to say the best Sunday roast we have ever experienced. The team are amazing, super welcoming and warm. The restaurant is warm and cosy with a rustic feel which is refreshing. The food, well, outstanding. Great quality products, seasonally sourced, perfectly executed and large portions and the option to take away leftovers.

My husband and I are both vegan and we can honestly say we had the best vegan lunch we have ever had - it was superb. We sometimes visit places that are only serving vegan food, both in the UK and when abroad, and this was better than some of those that specialise in vegan cuisine. Well done. We have decided this will be a quarterly visit for us.

I have been here a couple of times for lunch and many more for coffee… it’s quite pricy but the ambiance, service and quality of food and drinks is second to none. It’s always a good day when I can have a coffee at PKG! :))

Lovely venue, great people, warm and friendly atmosphere, and delicious food! I had initially planned to have a quick light lunch, but on seeing the menu couldn't resist going for 3 courses which included lamb cooked to perfection and a sticky treacle tart.....absolutely don't regret my decision!! Highly encourage others to visit this little gem in the countryside.

Had a wonderful lunch at PKG with work colleagues. Greeted and seated by attentive front of house staff (Nat and Laura) and given the run down of how the menu worked. Delicious Herb Baked Potato Bread sharing plate to start (with super dips and extras) followed by beautifully cooked Venison with accompanying side dishes and crafted complimentary extras - particularly liked the pear. Chocolate Ganache for pudding made the whole experience just a delight. Well done PKG - all round 5*.

Incredible food, lovely waitresses and great wine. Fantastic place to go for lunch. We sat next to the fire inside the conservatory which was the perfect spot looking out over the garden. The menu is alternative and annoyingly delicious so be prepared to have to make hard decisions, I didn't want to share but at the same time I wanted to eat everything. Flamingo pea hummus, was a first, and not the last, followed by beef then treacle tart. Yum, yum, thankyou, thankyou.

Visited the restaurant (conservatory) with wifey during a Kids free weekend. Cocktails (for me) & mocktails (for her) were amazing. Food was awesome…every single course and service was great to. What I liked about this place was that it was really good food, but not at all stuffy or pretentious. Will visit again for sure.

My fiancé and I had a really lovely experience yesterday at PKG. We were warmly welcomed and the serving staff were all so lovely and pleasant. Our waitress in particular was genuinely happy to help us. The food was equally as impressive, we were blown away by the autumnal menu. Struggled to choose off the menu because it all sounded so delicious- and it was! Would highly recommend and will back very soon. Thank you!

My partner and I had the most delightful lunch here today. We paid £38 a head for three stunning courses (plus three amazing 'garden gatherings' side dishes that came with the main) and the memory of them will stay with me for years to come. The lovely, attentive, knowledgeable staff were great. The decor and surroundings were great and i admire the ethos of their food sourcing and sustainably-minded objectives. What a gem of a place! I will be back for more.

What a great lunch. The ambience/venue was outstanding and the food was excellent. We especially appreciated how the menu was seasonal and based on the produce from the garden. Everyone was helpful and friendly.

Have been taken to lunch here today by two business connections. The food was fabulous with great service. A wonderful environment to relax over lunch. Highly recommend.

This was a Golden Wedding party for 11 adults, 4 children and a baby. Laura and her team looked after us amazingly and were so attentive and helpful. One of the party being gluten free and vegetarian was so impressed that she was able to eat a full (gf and vegetarian) meal without being made to feel like a second class diner with soup. All in all a great success.

Wonderful venue. Very good food. Very well presented with pretty garnishes. Worth the money for three courses. In fact the only down side would be if you couldn't manage three courses, as it's a set price. We felt satisfied but not uncomfortably full. Can't wait to go back with more friends and family :-)

Situated next to a wonderful garden, this restaurant serve delicious food using some herbs and vegetables from its own garden. We had the trout that was accompanied by pumpkin and lentils. The tonic drink with herbs was also very nice.

Just fantastic and brilliant value! I managed to squeeze in for a quick coffee and snack before full service started on Sunday. Found by accident and proven an unforgettable experience. Delicious! I’ll be back!

Very disappointing food covered in oil & salt. Too fancy nothing basic Dog vomiting on the floor in the restaurant-disgusting Waiting staff stroking dogs and then serving your food - unpleasant Garden very untidy and a bit of a mess Such s disappointing visit sadly will not be going back

Friendly, effortless, amazing, need say no more!

Food is really good flavour. Nicely presented. A good size portion. Nothing is wasted. Good wines. A real gem

This place is simply incredible. The setting is rustic and pretty, the food is AMAZING and the staff are so friendly. I would 100% be returning and I have already told lots of friends to get themselves a table there. We visited for our 1st anniversary and the staff had all signed a card for us which was a really nice touch. Our 5 month old baby was all smiles being entertained by our lovely waitress.

It was our first visit to the Kitchen Garden, and we absolutely loved everything about it. It was a perfect lunch. Looking forward to having the winter menu. Thanks to all the staff 🙌

Second visit here and both times it's been phenomenal. Beautiful location, seasonal and local food, much produced in their own garden. Would recommend for any occasion. Thanks Pythouse 😊

Just the most magical food: rare to find somewhere that has a flavour signature so distinctive, where every dish works I’m harmony and such unusual flavours suddenly seem like old friends. And in such a gorgeous spot too - and for this quality of food it’s REALLY cheap. Unreserved recommend.

Setting is splendid. Food is not. Lunch: starter = snacks - bread, pickled onions and cucumber plus a good dip. Mains: lamb chosen by all four of us. Some undercooked one overcooked. All chewy. Desserts - no problem but small. Cost: £37.50 plus service charge...

Enjoyed a lovely meal here. Could not be faulted. Friendly & efficient staff.

My wife organised a surprise family gathering for her mums 60th at the Pythouse. We opted for the kitchen table menu when booking. On arrival the location and set up was beautiful with staff on hand to help us set up balloons and bunting and...

Wonderful location with tables “outside” under the open sided marquee. The drinks took a very long time to be delivered and it took three attempts to get a glass of iced water. Lovely menu, I think everyone enjoyed the food, especially the starters. The mains...

This is my favourite restaurant. The food is an intoxicating adventure, each mouthful an exciting and delicious experience. I remember each meal I've had even though they are months apart. But it's not just the food, the surroundings are beautiful and the staff so happy...

A wonderful lunch, with great friendly service. The settings and gardens are relaxed and magnificent. A memorable experience.

What a beautiful spot, serving absolutely delicious food! We were blessed by beautiful weather but this is a very special place at any time of the year, providing a superb experience all round.. The most delicious food with the freshest ingredients befits the beautiful setting...

A lovely place to visit and sit with a great view of the garden. Such consistently delicious food, always a surprise taste combination on the menu. Great staff too, a joy to go and eat there.

This is place that deserves a visit and will serve you food the like of which you probably haven’t experienced before! It is spacious, welcomes dogs and will amaze you with the levels of quality, service and friendliness.

Stunning location and wonderful food - allow tone to look around the garden

From the moment my dear mum(91) arrived, couldn't have been more attentive . Beautiful, tranquility, simple ,delicious food.....thankyou xxx

The setting and ambiance at Pythouse Kitchen Garden is truly lovely. Amazing decor inside and undercover and the garden is looking amazing! The service was wonderful and everyone is very friendly and helpful at all times. We had the trout which was very tender and beautifully cooked along with some fresh garden greens and a small plate. It's a gorgeous place to visit and have a bite to eat or wonderful main meal, thank you to all 🤩

A friend introduced me to this beautiful restaurant today. Fantastic, friendly and attentive staff, equally fantastic food. Novel, very well prepared & cooked, locally sourced and beautifully presented dishes. I cannot recommend highly enough! I might have to move closer than a 30 minute drive!!

Loved our lunch here! Seriously delicious food, good service and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The lunch menu is great value given the quality of the food.

When you have great ingredients your most important job as a chef is not to ruin them. The Slow Food Kitchen at the Pythouse Kitchen Garden prepares simple but delicious food using home grown or locally sourced ingredients. I am a chocolate maker and chocolatier...

My husband and I visit multiple times a year since 2019. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere so wonderful (especially when dining outside in the summer) and the service is always incredible. We go there to eat, pick flowers from their gorgeous garden (a bucketful for only £15!) and to attend some of their special events, and we have never had less than an excellent experience! We recommend this place to anyone who will listen!

Relaxing atmosphere. Fantastic food. Beautiful gardens.

We had a lovely birthday lunch A perfect setting for a lovely relaxed lunch. Fabulous food,well presented and excellent service. We spent some time enjoying a wander around the garden. Can highly recommend a visit

Well first of all some good things, beautiful surroundings and the potato bread was lovely. However my meal the pasta dish was appallingly. We were a large group and the 4 of us who had the pasta were all shocked by how bad it was....

Amazing place and lovely food but dessert didn’t win my heart ☹️ will be back again though!

Beyond expectations! Food quality superb. Absolutely amazing atmosphere and surroundings. If you want some quality dine look no further. 5 out of 5

We love this place, the food is always fantastic, service impeccable, and the place is beautiful.

Our first visit and we were so amazed with the beautiful atmosphere, incredible food and great service! 10/10 for everything. The chalk stream trout pastrami was so good. We will be back soon!

We loved this place! Beautiful garden setting, really friendly service & incredibly accommodating for all tastes (we had lunch).

The location is great, the food is excellent and the service is attentive and friendly. Everything is very well done.
